I don't like the grizzly bear and the rhino either. The bear is very thin and the bear are fat. It should be like the asiatic black bear which is fat. And the rhino is very unrealistic in my opinion. The Horn is very long. I don't like either the ostrich because, it is very small, they measure 2 meters and in the game they have the same heigh to flamingos. But, I don't mind this. Zoo Tycoon 2 is my favourite game. :w00t  :w00t

Tigers (in-game) are ugly. :sick I like the Zebra and Gemsbok best....

[mikek21]

I think two of the most realistic looking animals are the ibex and the gemsbok. Camels are pretty good as well.

I think the most unrealistic looking animal is the black rhino. They are just way, way, way too cartoony. Which really disappoints me because I love rhinos, and would have loved a good looking black rhino for the game. The new Javan rhino in the ES expansion looks much better. I also don't like the goofy looking face on the giraffes.

I think Flamingos and Camels are realistic but the poar bear is the worst :happy

I think the tigers are definitely the worst. and the elephants are pretty bad. The lemurs aren't very realistic, but they kind of suit there characters so I like their look. The hooved animals all look great, as do the birds. The polar bear is pretty bad, but the grizzly is good. Giant panda is ok.... and the giraffe rocks. I think red panda could have been better, as could moose and croc, but theyre fine as they are. I know that isnt all the animals but it'll do for now  :crazy

[Okapis]

In the expansion, the Koalas look pretty cartoony.  I also think the Thomson's Gazelle are a little too big.  Sizing is the main issue with most of the animals, but my guess is Blue Fang was more worried about being able to see the animals in a reasonably appropriate manner than having everything perfectly to scale.

All that being said, I think my favorite animal in the game is the Gorilla

[Peacenote]

Best:  Snow Leopard, Ibex, & Gemspok

Worst:  The jury's still out, I'll let you know when they decide.  

[lizardlips]

I think the elephant could be better, because, while the body is OK, the eyes are very large. the Asian elephant is better though.
I agree with most of you, the ungulates are mostly very good.

[Zeta Missy: Purple Turtle]

I love the zebras!!! And the gazelles. I think they're my favorites in teh entire gae. I Love the hippos, too, even if the babies are somewhat... blue. Lol.
